TEXT OF SPEECH


Hello fellow freshmen , my name is Truman of the class of 2021 and here I will tell you about the hopes, dreams, and goals I have for my years at Foothill High. Here I will describe what I hope to accomplish in Academics, as well as goals for my personal life with my family and friends, along with some sports and fitness.

To start things off, I will attempt to get straight A’s all throughout high school, as it will greatly help in finding myself an exceptional college to attend. In addition to this, I will also take at least two honors/AP classes every year after my freshman year to further ensure my placement in the ideal college for me. As well as the goals listed above, I will attempt to achieve the astounding task of having a 4.0 GPA throughout high school to set me off on the right path. While I have had a problem procrastinating in class, I intend to stop this self-destructive habit, as it will just hurt me more and more in the future. Finally, I hope to become a better writer throughout my time here, as I believe my writing is so awful, a monkey smashing a keyboard on the ground could write better than me.

As for my personal goals, I’d like to be less of a jerk to my parents because in the past I’ve always had a problem with my parents when I have no reason to, so I’ll attempt to resolve the conflicts I have with them so I can have an easier time during high school. Since I’m now in a new school, it’s only natural that I try to make a couple new friends so I’m not as alone in high school as I was previously in middle school. I’ll also maintain the current friendships I have already established so that I have a social life and not look like the one kid who has no friends and talks to himself.

For sports and fitness, I don’t have many goals, so I’ll just keep it short and to the point. First, I was about as active as a sloth over summer, so because of that I’ve become completely out of shape and turned into a fat blob. Because of that, I’m going to start working out regularly and vigorously so I can become fit once again. Along with that, I’ll be on the tennis team at Foothill this year, and I will try to become the best freshman on the team or get close to that.

As you can tell, I expect too much of myself, and I should probably lower my expectations, but if I manage to accomplish all of my goals, I’ll be the first piece of trash to do so.
